The museum was established in
1992 at the Paso Robles Municipal
Airport and is dedicated to restor-

vehicles, and memorabilia. From
its first hangar, the museum has
grown to a 20-acre, 14-building
complex of exhibit halls, work-
shops, a library, a gift shop, and
conference facilities.

with the air forces of the US,

group acquired Betsy from Canada,
where she had been mothballed for

flew to the UK, along with many

to participate in the 75th D-Day
